verse:
G A
Can you judge a man
F#
By the way he wears his hair
G A
Can you read his mind
F#
By the clothes that he wears
E F#
Can you see a bad man
G A
By the pattern on his tie

verse 2:
Could you tell a wise man
By the way he speaks or spells
Is this more important
Than the stories that he tells
And call a man a fool
If for wealth he doesn't strive
Chorus
Solo over G
Verse 3:
You condemn a man
If you faith he doesn't hold
You say the color of his skin
Is the color of his soul
Could you say that men
For king and country all must die?

About artist:
The Yardbirds were pioneers in almost every guitar innovation of the '60s: fuzz tone, feedback, distortion, backwards echo, improved amplification, and were one of the first to put an emphasis on complex lead guitar parts and experimentation. The term, "Yardbird" is used in the southern United States as slang for 'chicken' (as in poultry), and it is a slang expression for "prisoner".
The bulk of the band's conceptual ideas, as well as their songwriting, came from the quartet of singer Keith Relf, drummer Jim McCarty, rhythm guitarist/bassist Chris Dreja, and bassist/producer Paul Samwell-Smith, all of whom co-wrote the Yardbirds' original hits and constituted the core of the group.
